The tax you can pay early but about your licenses I don't know, you don't say when they expires.

You can also pay late, there's no penalty.

sorry my licenses exspire 31st may...

You can renew your licence 60 days before the date of expiry. ( this is for a one year to a five year, you don't mention what you currently hold )

I tried to waffle them into giving me a 5 year licence, by telling them that we were returning home for a few months.

The answer was no - The computer won't allow it. Just repeat the test again when you get back, then receive another one year - temporary licence.
